Hello brothers and sisters, I am a first timer among you so I would which to introduce myself formerly...
My name is Samuel Bassey Owoh, I am from Afia Nsit in Eket local government Area of Akwa Ibom State. I chose as my username because this is the identity I project in all my social profiles. Afia Nsit happen to be my home town, but I currently reside at Uyo, where I serve as a Resident Pastor. Yes I'm a Pastor in the Christian Fellowship EVANG. Nigeria, my current address above, happen to be where I'm serving currently, though I may be moved to a different address when my time of service here is over.
I am married a lovely lady, Nsebong Samuel Owoh, from Eket local government Area of Akwa Ibom State. Above is my my beautiful wife with me. Our Union is blessed with three lovely kids to the glory of God. God'sgift, Florence and Ukemebong, (Meaning God's ability) all living together, with all of us serving God in different capacities, our consciousness is that we have been favored by God and chosen as a priesthood family.
I am in my early 50s I got married when I was approaching 30 yrs. I have a very humble background, so I don't have much to say on this area of my life, but just to mention I grow up not having a mother because she died when I was very tender, so my father became everything for me and my three senior sisters, until they were married out, living me alone with Daddy, till when I was about 16yrs old my father died also, living me in the caring hand of the Almighty God, thank God I came to know him and learn to put my trust in him, building my faith on the word of David the psalmist in the Bible, " when my father and my mother left me the Lord too me up". I learned to rest in his arms. So I can boldly say He is a faithful God.
My turning point was when I accepted Jesus and made him my Lord and Savior, my life which I knew was going down began to go up because He took me up as it is written. I started up as a sales boy for my master an Igbo man by name Mr Edwud Uka, now a pastor in the Assemblies of God, he was a good man, I later left him voluntarily and worked in several other places which I could not mention all here, I mentioned the first place because that was my starting point which to me it's very memorable. with this job I was able to go back to where I stopped in my secondary school and obtain my SSCE , and also obtain my OND in theology at Uma Ukpai school of Theology.
Before accepting the call of God to serve as a pastor I was a good business man, I was into petroleum product marketing, sales cement, engaging also in other contract work/ supplies.
I love good and honest people, I also cherish beautiful people, I mean beautiful in and out, well dressed and well behaved, and also try by God's special Grace to exhibit this kind of life and characters, I love respect, I can't go along with those who engage in insulting people, I really can't stand it, I feel people should be respected no matter their social stratum.
I believe in working and making an honest gains, I believe in godliness with contentment. I'm also a lover of education, I believe educated people have added advantage in every field of endeavor, that is why even if as I'm training my children in school I don't loose sight on my own education.
Though I'm a very shy person, I love lively people and lively environment, for me everything I'm involved should be lively including church service, anything short of that turns me off. The reason I join hive is that, I want to get busy, I don't like idleness.
I am a man of big dreams and no dream can be actualize perfectly without money, more so, I detest being seen as a burden, as a minister of the gospel of Christ, I believe in working with my hands because like me master I want to give to people rather than waiting to receive only, as they say " there is dignity in labor".
My Pastor friend has told me about Hive for long explaining how I can utilize this social platform to index my messages, interract with friends and share thoughts about God's love with as many. He helped to create an account for me yesterday and took time to explain how I will be interacting. There are many things to learn and I will do so gently.
He made me to understand that blockchain is a technology that can be leveraged by every sector including the church. As I get to understand well how here works, I would look out for ways to integrate this onto our church administration in the ways it fit.
I will be sharing my messages and soon, I will start creating video content too. I will love to learn from great people that are here already.
Thank you for accepting to be my friend here. God bless you all that have put this platform together and making it a place worth socializing on.
